"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

MODERATORS
Whenever they can get away with it, the Democrats are so good at working together, with monied interests, to make America a better place, for themselves and their doners at the expense of the common man.
I'm curious how the average voter in Maine feels about this.
Nobody here knows about it because our news is all owned by Sinclair. The talk is about how Platner made some reddit posts years ago.
ETA: Jay Mainers don't give a shit about a datacenter. They aren't all clamoring for anything like that. These folks hunt and fish and use their various ATVs.
Well shit. That's a rough spot. I hope more of them start to understand the impact this could have on those same outdoors.
"Jay Mainer" being the equivalent of "Bubba" in the south?
Jay is the name of the town where the exempted data center was supposed to go.
It'd be like saying 'Sacramento Californians'. Not necessarily wrong, but different. Unless you're suggesting a better demonym.
Ohhhh.
I thought it was like "Jack Mormon".
Thanks!
At least in Georgia. I never heard anyone use "Bubba" unless they were literally referring to someone by that name. I only have heard people from non southern states use it.
In the South, when someone is an idiot we don't really have a name for them. You usually just add a "bless their heart" when referring to them.
I heard it plenty when I lived in South Carolina. It didn't imply stupidity, it implied a blue collar guy with a beer at a boat launch or tailgating a college game. It was also a generic nickname sort of like "cuz" was in Alabama.
No, you're right. It's kind of flexible. Maybe I misunderstood the initial comment. I've heard people from outside the south use "bubba" as a way to refer to uneducated white southerners.
I don't know what a Jay Mainer is, and I guess trying to compare it to another idiosyncratic regional stereotype was not the play.
